			<h1>Charls Davis and a potentially-compromised server</h1>
			<p>Day 00007: Saturday, 2015 March 14</p>
		</header>
</p>
	I set up the <code>&lt;abbr/&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;acronym/&gt;</code> tags finally.
	I should have done it yesterday, but doing so required looking up the exact expansion of every abbreviation I&apos;ve used on the site so far, and I was tired.
</p>
</p>
	Someone named &quot;Charls [sic] Davis&quot; has decided to use an email address at my domain with his Apple account.
	I have never heard of Charls Davis, but I got a letter in my inbox asking me to confirm that the email address is really his.
	I attempted to contact Apple support through their website, but it seems that <abbr title="The Onion Router">Tor</abbr> users are banned from accessing Apple support via the Web.
	I also tried writing to Apple, but according to Apple&apos;s auto-responder, Apple doesn&apos;t read their email.
	The auto-responder instead directed me to the broken Web support page.
	Likewise, I have no way to find or contact Charls Davis and ask what&apos;s going on.
	I will likely waste much time tomorrow trying to reach Apple support, but tonight, I need to go to bed.
</p>
</p>
	My server went down for unknown reasons.
	Normally, when that server malfunctions, it turns its fans up real loud and stops responding.
	Power-cycling the machine fixes the issue.
	However, this time, the machine was completely turned off.
	I don&apos;t know what would have caused it.
	On <a href="ircs://irc.volatile.club:6697/%23Volatile">#Volatile</a>, janicez thinks I got hacked.
	This may very well be the case.
	Watson said he had advice for me to help secure the server, find if anything was taken, and/or find if anything was left behind, but a net split immediately broke ended our conversation.
	I connected to the server he was using, but it then went down.
	The network server soon came back up, but watson was nowhere to be found.
